If you do not have traditional 'A' levels or their equivalent, the Access route has been designed to provide you with an entry route to the degrees in the fields of Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences. The Diploma in Economics, a qualification in its own right, similarly provides an entry route to these degrees (please note that for the Diploma in Economics attendance at an institution that has been given 'permission to teach' by the LSE is compulsory).
